Game using Communication Server

programming
1

I’m starting a game project in Flash using the Flash Communication server MX.

I need to make an application where an infinite amount (usernames) of people can control their own avatar on
a tile based level. I only need an example of this so that I can realize how to send coordinates through the server from many players.

If anyone can help me, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks. :slight_smile:

I too was trying to do something like that but i guess tile based would be pretty cool instead of art based

Well, at this point it actually doesn’t matter if it’s tile based or whatever but the only thing I’d like to know is how to make player controlled movieclips so that other players can see each other moving around.

I work more around xml sockets… Not flash communication server… Sorry I can;t be of help to you now bro :slight_smile:

Look for ways to incorporate the flash communication chat room type environment… And look at the examples that you plug into flash as an extension and then try and incorprate those ides into a room by room basis for your game… That might help.

Hey i found this a while backand i guess i gave up on it but it comes with examples for you to fiddle around in not quite sure which of the two things it is it just says SmartFoxServer Lite Java Server

Well I could gladly use xml sockets too. I just don’t know how. :slight_smile:
If you can tell me how to make multiple character moving with xml sockets, it would be great. :slight_smile:

That’s great, thanks! I’ll take a look into this. :slight_smile:

Oh, I just noticed something that isn’t so great with the SmartFox server.
Its max connections are limited to 50 users. It would be ok now but later on it might be a bad thing. And also, I think I will need direct database access at some point of development which it doesn’t provide either. :confused:

It would be great for testing out how to make multiple avatars work but I’d have to do it all over again for the FlashCom or with xmlsockets anyway because of the limitations. But still, thanks for the link. :slight_smile:

its just a primitive one i think is open source so just change the source to allow more connections and to access a database.

Great, thanks! It really means a lot to me to make this thing working. :slight_smile:

For the best performance, .NET technology can be used for the database, then use Macromedia Generator or use http://www.jzox.com/ JGenerator.

And it’s open source.
